All of this going down during the 250th anniversary year of America is a degree of cringey writing that would be roundly mocked were it a novel published in an alternative timeline.

This was a tragedy that demands an independent investigation, not political spin.
We now have video footage from multiple angles that contradicts the administration’s story about the horrific Minnesota shooting. Trump himself wasn’t even aware when the NYT told him.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

If Indiana legislators hold firm on their conscience today, it will among other things be a much-needed rejection of the idea that you can get your way on policy through bullying, intimidation, and threats.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:
- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

No community should be forced to bear the weight of a system that profits from human suffering.
Private, for-profit prisons have no place in a fair and free democracy—and especially profiting off the suffering of an inhumane and undemocratic detention system.
Period.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.
Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.
